Outreach & Recruiting

studentsPROMES students engage in community outreach through   several corporate sponsored events with local independent school districts. Events such as the annual regional math and science competition, and Career Days. All of these events serve middle and high school students and encourage their success in math and sciences. 

Each year our UH-PROMES engineering students serve as mentors to students from several low-income high schools, promoting math, science and engineering activities.

PROMES serves a critical function for the Cullen College of Engineering, the University of Houston, and the city of Houston in promoting engineering among area students. PROMES has a long and impressive history of supporting engineering students, building the pipeline for engineering, and changing lives one student at a time. Our success is shared by our sponsors who have helped to sustain our activities through nearly four decades.
